CLLR HARRISON JOIN LABOUR GROUP

The Leader of the Labour Group on Hull City Council welcomed
Councillor Anita Harrison to the Labour Group during the Council
meeting on Thursday 18th October.

Councillor Harrison was the Leader of the NEW Independent Group on the
Council until recently and has been a formidable representative of
residents on the Bransholme East Ward where she commands enormous
respect as a local campaigning councillor.

Cllr. Stephen Brady, Labour Group Leader said:

“Councillor Harrison is a welcome addition to the Labour Group and a
natural local campaigner, I look forward to working alongside her as a
group member.”

Councillor Harrison added:

“I cannot stand by and let this Coalition Government do what it wants
to hard pressed working people. I have always stood for the people of
my ward in Bransholme East and the simple fact is that under Labour I
and my residents will get far more help and support.

I like the way the Labour Group works and how it is led. It has
internal strength and is not afraid to stand for what it truly
believes in both as a united group and as individual members. This is
in contrast to the Liberal Democrats who welcomed the cuts to funding
and services in Hull and are doing nothing locally other than giving
legitimacy to this unfair Coalition Government as it attacks working
people, the disabled and the vulnerable”.
